I am pretty sure the ER surgeon wished a snake did form part of the ER "tool kit".

 

2 hours on German long sword instruction and exercise today. It was a bit unnerving as two moms brought young children who spent most of their time screaming about something. Made it rather hard to concentrate.

 

I recommended to one mother that she may want to consider antinatalism as a lifestyle choice. (antinatalism: philosophy of not having children to control population.)

Coventry- English boarding school punishment...you do not exist, no one talks to you, no acknowledges your existence...the mum's may make better use of this 18th century technique since they have already passed your option by.

nostomania - homesickness, urge to return to familiar surroundings.

 

Living in Canada, this isn't a common, everyday scene one runs across. Ran across this guy somewhere around the Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe border area about the 22nd October. For some reason he made me want to come home and see my dogs.

Why do ghosts say "boo!"?

 

boo is the present infinitive of boāre (latin) and means; to cry aloud, bellow, roar or bray.

Boāre; breeze, scent, fragrance, (obsolete) exhalation of breath; stench

 

And why would a ghost speak in latin? Because its a dead language.
